No, Nancy Pelosi is not the craziest Grinch, and Mitch McConnell, certified SOB, isn’t the meanest.

It’s Donald Trump, who descended into madness and meanness this year by causing constant mayhem with tweets, twits, threats, treachery, trysts, mistrust, testimony and tyranny. Tragically, we’ve come to accept this daily onslaught of D.C. decay like it’s a YouTube video. It’s not.

We now have a country of 325 million people run by a paranoid builder, his dress-designing daughter, and his despot-loving son-of-a-felon/son-in-law. What?

Isn’t it time for us to get up, get mad, and get the Trumps the hell out — in the spirit of Christmas I mean. No?

Last week the wacko President…

Like the Grinch on bad ganja, he shut down the government for what he promises will be “a long time” because they didn’t give him $5 billion for his wall, destroying the holiday for federal employees who won’t get paid until it’s over.

Caused Defense Secretary James Mattis to quit after impetuously announcing, to the delight of puppet master Vladimir Putin, the total withdrawal of troops from Syria.

Declared the destruction of ISIS, which then posted a video of the beheading of two Scandinavian female backpackers in Morocco.

Suggested the courts step in to censor “Saturday Night Live.”

Traitorously removed the sanctions on Putin-linked oligarchs and a Trump Tower Moscow-linked bank.

This year alone the unhinged President:

Repeatedly called the press the enemy of the people.

Caged hundreds of terrified children.

Tried to stop the Mueller investigation.

Launched a trade war to bring back American manufacturing. GM has since closed five North American plants and laid off 15,000 workers.

Remained fiercely loyal to the NRA despite 330 mass shootings on his watch.

Blamed California wildfires on forestry mismanagement.

Suggested that the massive loss of life at the Tree of Life synagogue was the result of not arming up.

Blamed the Parkland, Fla., high school mass murder on video games.

Refused to visit a war cemetery because of drizzle.

Kowtowed before Putin at a press conference.

Promoted Kim Jong Un’s offer of denuclearization, even as Kim was expanding his nuclear arsenal.

Defied U.S. intelligence by accepting murderous Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s excuse that the beheading of journalist/American resident Jamal Khashoggi was the result of a fistfight.

Approved argon blasting on the East Coast seafloor, which would destroy the ability of whales and dolphins to communicate via sound, and opened the Arctic to off-shore oil drilling that could destroy it.

This Grinch isn’t just ruining Christmas, he’s ruining the world. In Grinch-like fashion, he’s even staying in D.C. while Melania and Barron continue the “long family tradition” of spending Christmas at Mar-a-Lago. Isn’t the family tradition supposed to be spending it together wherever? Not if you’re Grinches.

Please, instead of toys this Christmas, give your kids a future. Get up, get mad and force your representatives to do the same so we can get the Trumps the hell out of that red-treed White House.

Who is the BRAVEST man in D.C.?

Again, no, it’s not Nancy Pelosi, although she comes close.

It’s heroic Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan, who ascended onto the world stage Wednesday by shooting down — or at least putting off — special prosecutor Robert Mueller’s suggestion of a light sentence for American traitor Michael Flynn.

The judge, who gave us hope that democracy will win out, excoriated the Dr. Strangelove general as a traitor, saying, “Not only did you lie to the FBI, you lied to senior officials in the incoming administration,” adding that Flynn was an “unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the national security adviser to the President of the United States,” desecrating everything for which the flag stands.

“Arguably, you sold your country out,” he stated. No argument here. The retired U.S. general-turned-traitor is a liar, a duplicitous scum of the worst sort and a Russian agent. Despite his cooperation with Mueller, which he did out of cowardice, Flynn needs to be treated even more harshly than other traitors because of his rank in the military and as national security adviser to the President.

He was Judas, sitting at the right hand of the President. It’s straight out of a Cold War spy thriller.

You thought THAT was the bravest thing Sullivan did last week? The very next day, the judge took on the President, shooting down his inhumane ban on asylum for immigrants fleeing domestic and gang violence. He said it is the "will of Congress — not the whims of the executive — that determines the standard for expedited removal.” The Supreme Court followed suit Friday.

The former First Lady showed up at the Barclays Center last week with Sarah Jessica Parker to promote her book, “Becoming,” in impossibly sexy $3,900 stiletto, thigh-high sequined boots and a God-knows-how-much yellow gown from Balenciaga.

Towering over Parker, Obama talked about how she knew that her clothes as First Lady would make a statement and so she often wore clothes by young designers who wouldn’t normally get that kind of boost. No, she never wore colonialist pants and a pith helmet to Africa or an “I Really Don’t Care Do U?” jacket while boarding a plane to visit children torn from their parents and living in cages.

During the “intimate conversation” before 19,000, she also said, “You have to actively work for hope, you have to be an active participant of hope.”

Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” which had a well-deserved successful first year, opened Season 2 with the family in France with Mrs. Maisel and her father looking for her mother, who has inexplicably run away from home. Oy, as they say in Paris.

If sharks wore great vintage clothes, I’d say “Mrs. Maisel” is looking for a hammerhead to jump.

Emily Nussbaum in The New Yorker echoes my dashed hopes for the show, writing, it seemed like it would have been "... so far up my alley it was practically chopping onions in my kitchen." And as much fun as facing a pound in need of chopping.

Best Christmas gift I ever got

Speaking of The New Yorker, I know you were going to buy me something expensive and extravagant for Christmas, but you don’t have to — unless you insist. I just got the best gift — inclusion in the magazine’s annual Christmas poem by Ian Frazier! That’s me between Penelope Cruz and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
